Economy of Scales: Edirol R-1

Economy of Scales: Edirol R-1 03/23/2005 05:36 PM

iPod is great for playback, but it's not much use when it comes to recording. Try Edirol's R-1 instead: palm-sized, integrated stereo microphone, and recording to CompactFlash. With 1GB of CF running about $70 (the R-1 costs under $400), removable media is the way to go. And as opposed to cheap consumer audio gadgets, this box records absolutely clean; even the built-in stereo mic sounds terrific (check out the audio samples). The extras are just as impressive: there's a built-in metronome and tuner for practicing, plus built-in digital effects for EQ, noise reduction, and reverb, and even software simulation of different microphone types -- you can even fake a vintage mic. When you're ready to off-load your recordings, you can plug into your computer via USB 2.0 (or use onboard digital out or analog in/out). See CDM for more details and discussion. If you're a video/audio pro, check out the hard drive-based 4-track R-4.

Win XP SP2 "turns Firewire 800 into
Firewire 100" 08/12/2004 02:38 PM
The moderator of the RME forum has warned that installing Windows XP SP2 can lead to the bus speed being limited to 100Mbit/s. Matthias Carstens posted the message on the RME forum yesterday, but says it's not a problem particular to RME products. He said: "It affects any Firewire 800 device. If you have a FW800 PCI card and an FW 800 hard disk, go see the bits come one by one through the Firewire cable".

RME, he said, was aware of the problem for some time, but "didn't really imagine that Microsoft would have the guts to try to bury an existing standard. We just downloaded the final public version and it is simply unbelievable". He said that some companies are trying to sell Firewire 800 drivers so everything will be hunky-dory. But, he said, these drivers probably won't work correctly with a Fireface 800.

Firewire or USB NAS

Firewire or USB NAS 08/05/2004 03:10 AM

I just picked up an exter nal Seagate 160GB hard drive with the intention of using it as a primary backup device for my home office. I can easily plug it into any machine via USB or Firewire and back the computer up.

While I was setting up the backup scheduling for my laptop, however, I realized that I can’t really create a schedule. My laptop is very mobile—it moves from room to room and place to place with me. I can’t expect to have the drive’s USB connection plugged into my laptop at any given time. If I schedule the backup to run at 1am, I would need to make sure I have the laptop on my desk and connected in order for the backup to succeed.

What would be great is a small IP addressable gadget that I could plug this drive into so that it could become a simple Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. That way my laptop could be backed up over my wireless net from anywhere in the house.

Something like this might exist already but I didn’t turn anything up in a few moments of research.
